Why You Haven't Seen Jennifer Lawrence Acting In A While

Jennifer Lawrence was the face of young Hollywood throughout the 2010s. After starting on the sitcom the Bill Engvall Show, Lawrence catapulted to an Oscar nomination with her performance in the 2010 drama Winter's Bone. Much bigger films and more award nominations soon followed, making her a bona fide movie star before she could legally drink.

But things have started to slow down for the funny, relatable leading lady over the past few years. After a string of prestige pictures and franchise offerings, she only appeared in one feature in 2019, and had no credits to her name in 2020. What happened? A combination of some box-office disappointments, personal life changes and, of course, a global pandemic. Here's why you haven't seen Jennifer Lawrence acting in a while.

What is your favorite Jennifer Lawrence movie?

[Rob_P_]

Her last credited role on IMDB is 2019 and there were hardly any releases last year. These videos always make it out like someone hasn’t been seen for years. She has 7 upcoming projects 😂

[Jeckkz]

This video made me laugh ... carrying on like her career is dead when she's still working and doing good . They must be clutching for content

[omariwalker]

She's got her Oscar, perhaps she's just satisfied with life for now.

[jd]

She is immensely talented, she has never been the reason for a project she was involved having been a flop.

[jimlane]

Hollywood's expectations are just so out of whack. Any movie is considered a "disappointment" simply because it doesn't make a billion dollars at the box office

[chris_h]

Maybe she just wants to settle down and enjoy her life for a while.

[triciaw]

I loved her in Mother and Red Sparrow. A great actress.

[brianq]

I LOVED Passengers! I have watched it a number of times. I just love the feeling I get watching that movie and listening to the music score.

[JesseNunez]

yeah she's been nominated 3 times in less than 11 years, jlaw is a talented actress, she's gonna come back stronger than ever QUOTE me.

[MattDamon]

Jennifer Lawrence backstory into Hollywood is an inspiration.

[dscarty]

I thought Passengers was very good. Perhaps the release timing wasn’t.

[sebbvell]

She just finished principal photography for the upcoming Don't look up starring her along side Leonardo DiCaprio

[famousfolks]

Harvey's girl she was on top by keeping everyone happy.

[rickyroberson]

Flops? Critics don't decide what a flop is. Numbers do. All of her films make millions of dollars worth of profits. That's success last time I checked. I love her acting & will watch any movie that she appears in.

[arctic]

Regardless of any flops, she's a great actress

[Bobby]

We havent seen her cause Charlie is taking all the spots after his amazing performance in the Hungar Games

[TearYouApart]

Though, I think Lawrence is an excellent actress I think a lot of people associate her with Harvey Weinstein now and maybe feeling her career was based more on favoritism than acting ability.

[Agostoic]

Seems like fellow Weinstein isn't around no more, lol

[JasonHendry]

loved hunger games and silver lining, shes an amazing actress, well see her come back at some stage in terms of on top. The fact shes still working means her carea is all well and good.
